First cut, feedback.
Hi all.
I just started my first cut after working out for 6 months doing my best to bulk (have to cut now to look slimmer for end of May).
I'm only about 1,5 weeks in of a planned 12 week cut. I'm using AI (don't bite my head off) to get some feedback on my diet and results. I have complete Control over my diet except for the exact macros for the dinner each day, though I try to make good choices there.
Except for dinner I am getting these macros on rest days:
1357 kcal (with dinner its probably around 1850-1950). 142,5 g protein (aiming for 180-190 with dinner) 121,65 g carbs 31,35 g fat.
On workout days (without taking the dinner into account):
1714 kcals (with dinner it's probably around 2200kcals) 145,4 g protein (aiming for 180-190 with dinner). 137,5 g carb 60,9 g fat
So far (including water weight loss) I'veve gone from 94,4 to 91,9kg, so it seems to be working, and I'm still managing to progressive overload my weights with no measurable strength loss yet.
Has been some ups and downs in weight this past week, which I assume to be water weight going up and down between rest and workout days
I follow the Greyskull LP program with accessories 3 times a week, though I am pretty sedentary outside of that. AI estimates my maintanence kcals to be in the 2700-2900 range, and my kcal intake is as I mentioned 2200 kcals on workout days and 1900 on rest days.
